Call of Duty: Black Ops

Haha, what a joke, host migration almost never works, a large amount of games you get into, you get the network cable flashing thing up and kicks you out, or the ps3 locks up. Did they even test this bag of balls?

Never experienced that once myself.

B52s are a ****ing joke. I'm inside a building with a complete roof and no where near a window yet it still kills me :confused:

Damn realistic bombing runs! We need more Mario-style features like bullets with angry eyes, and bombs that run around in a tizzy before exploding! :p

Apparently not. :( This quote was on eurogamer and perfectly sums up my experience so far:

"However, it became much worse after the developer, Treyarch, released their 1.3 update in the days after release. Players are now struggling to complete a single full match in their online multiplayer. They receive hosting errors, transmission errors, failed host migrations and interrupted connections, which boot the players back to the lobby.

Failed host migration and transmission errors (whatever they are) are soo frequent it's unreal. This is the first time I've ever felt like moaning about a game - anyone thinking of buying it for the ps3, I wouldn't until treyarch fix it.
 
Stopped playing it on ps3.
2 hard freezes while loading maps in about 5 mins. Had to power the ps3 down both times.
Played the 360 version for hours and got disconnected once.
Not playing on ps3 until i have read that the game works a lot better.
Why couldn't they have had an install option for the ps3 version?
Will end up bricking my ps3 if i continue trying to play this broken game.
Sorry but as much as i enjoy playing COD with my ps3 buddies, i'd rather have a working ps3 and play with randoms on the 360 version

Plus the lag feels much worse. I can be killed in two shots, yet I have to unload a clip into someone to kill them.

You must be dreaming it as a few in here will tell you how "crisp" the hit detetction is, In reality the online side of this game on Console platforms is an absolute joke. The lag compensation is laughable and the fact that a 4 green bar connection only means that you have an under 300ms ping to the host is terrible, coupled with what has emerged as the new latency compensation system this game has compared to the other cod's it's nigh on unplayable unless you have 1 of 2 things, host or a bad (don't read that as slow speed or non fiber) connection, people with a good low ping solid connection are finding that they are being penalised against other players due to a compensation system this game has built in, unfortunately it doesn't work very well for a lot of players.

Let me guess... the people are dropping him with the two shots could well be the players experiencing the 'crisp' gameplay. I really think you must be retarded if you dont recognise that for people to be dying from 2 shots after emptying a clip into someone it has to be working very well for atleast one player. Gun game the other night was odd for me, I was ripping Faded in gun game with only a few rounds even though I was getting jam sandwich all over my screen from several rounds. Rare occasion for the connection to be like that but its like your invincible and you go into one on ones very confident you'll come out on top.

I think we get it. Do you want us to all stop playing the game or something before you will stop. Maybe we could all declare we will never play this version of CoD ever again? Just like MW2..... oh no that was you :p
 
I get a few disconnections from my group but it isnt unplayable. Played about five straight games in a row without problems. Much better on your own, never have hardly any issues. Just keeping a group is hard without at least one dropping out for one reason or another.

What's absolutely laughable is people trying to rag on the game then trying to make out it's any different from any other COD with some games taking seemingly a full clip and some games seemingly taking a couple of bullets.

Just about everyone has moaned about it in every COD game I've ever played. Most of the time we get in a lobby half of us are having issues and half of us are fine. That's COD, we either live with it and know it's going to happen or give up playing online shooters on xbox live. The only online game I have played on the 360 that was any different was Graw because it handled the lag differently by just booting players if the lobby couldn't handle the number of players to the upload of the host.

Local searches has made my % rate of decent connections up on previous Cods which is a plus for me. 7 out of 10 games for me now have excellent crisp hit detection.

I don't get why if people don't like it they don't just **** off back to a previous COD that was supposedly so good. It's what we all did (!i) when WaW was disliked by most of us. We just played COD4 for another year.

I swear people just liked MW2 because it was easy KS raping with loads of cheap methods getting kills.

This game has far better weapons balance, killstreaks are nowhere near the be all that they were in MW2 and so far none of the cheap tactics that never got cleaned out of MW2.

This will definately end up being my 2nd most played COD.
 
Is it a headshot ping or is it the poor sounds on this game?

Headshooting has always been poor on these games. I've shot people in the leg on all these games to get the 'HEADSHOT' pop up on the screen. I think it evens out for me the number of times I've got a headshot that hasn't killed to the number of times I've headshot people by shooting them in the feet :D

What I hate is spamming sum1s head with bullets , you hear the headshot ting yet they don't die , a headshot should be instant kill

Don't be silly, that would be 'sound-whoring' :p

Massively annoying as thats one of my triggers to switch to another target and stop firing :confused: Its the sound danny, the usual headshot sound but no kill.
 
Well as far as I remember on mw2 and cod4 you only heard the ting when it was a headshot kill, but on this you can shoot then and hear ting but it's just recognising a hit to head but not a kill ,it's slightly confusing if you shooting a couple people and you hear that noise you instantly move to next target yet there still alive.
 
anyone on now?

fed up of randoms and sabotage was going ok until I keep ending up in lobbys of people who run around like rambo with no interest in the bomb

Stopped playing MP on PS3 as well, until the next patch comes out (1.04?). Each time the console hard freezes I get worried and it was happening 2-3 times a night when I played MP recently. I don't have a 360 to play it on though :(, thankfully I can still play Zombies with my mate and still have the SP campaign to start. If the patch to fix the MP is not out by the time I finish those I will be annoyed!!
